Happy Literary Friday, My Lovelies! I hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Are you getting out in the Black Friday madness today? I have an idea to save you lots of time and trouble for the reader in your life. Why not a subscription to one of my bookish letters? Everyone loves getting snail mail!
Here's a sample of what my letters look like:
Here's a sample of what my letters look like:
November 2017 letters from The Sketchy Reader
Each letter is illustrated with watercolor pencils. I make copies of letters on heavy card stock paper, and then I address each letter to the recipient. I include discussion questions, a tag, and sometimes ephemera. I can customize handmade cards for special occasions, like Christmas!
I offer several subscriptions: one month, three months, six months, or twelve months. Plus, you can select from two categories: an all-time favorite book, or if you're feeling more adventurous, a selection from the Indie Next List.
Plus, all the "archived" letters are available, like these for November:
This letter is a selection from a recent Indie Next List, Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero
This is a favorite book selection, The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen
I place all the goodies in a large envelope and mail them using stamps.
Take a look at my Etsy Store, and shop from your computer or other device. Easy peasy! You can shop from your home and not worry about wrapping or sending a card!
You can always access my shop by clicking on the "Shop" page on my Nav Bar above.
I hope you have some downtime to read this weekend. You can see what I'm reading on my sidebar!
Until next time...
Happy reading!
Ricki Jill

I love my subscription and getting the beautiful snail mail! I hope to get some time for getting back to reading the Sugar Queen after the busy holiday weekend, and drying my tears from the Iron Bowl!
